Private Message to Weasley

[alt_lucius]

That parcel you left on my desk this morning. Have no use for it. Cannot return to Garrard's; perhaps you can think of a suitable destination. In any event, come and get rid of it - discreetly, if you please.

Also have several letters to be copied out and addressed when you have a moment. And find the file on Branstone; if I am to suffer through a parade of Gallerinas such as Selma Hawkins is likely to invite, may as well attend to a matter or two of business.

About that parcel, sir. I heard from the sender; she actually flooed me this morning to inquire if I had given it to you yet.

I have the distinct impression she regrets sending it back. I gather that emotions were...rather high.

[alt_lucius]

Mm. What of it, Weasley?

[alt_percy]

Well. If...if you have no wish to keep the contents, and she wants them back, perhaps that would be the easiest solution?

[alt_lucius]

Easiest for you, you mean, Weasley?

No. She ought to have had more control over her impulses in the first place. In general, I should say.

Send the blasted gems to Gringott's and have them bury them in the vault. Just have done with it.

[alt_percy]

Yes, sir. And I will have those letters and the file prepared for you within the hour.
